Ahead of the State of the Union, let's talk about POTUS' home state: Delaware!
As you hopefully know, Delaware is one of the supposedly United States of America. In fact it's one of the first 13 states!
Delaware's been around a long time.
Delaware the name itself is weird.
Probably because the state was named after a bay which was named after a guy whose name was Anglo-French. Terrible things happen when the English and French get together.
Who can trust peoples who decide to build a tunnel underneath a shitton of water?!
Wilmington, somehow the largest city in the state of Delaware with a population of only 70,000 people, was once home of Bob Marley. Whom I am told is a famous musician.
(Seriously, 70k!? There are census designated places west of the Mississippi with more people!)
The state is so unpopulated that it only has 3 counties in it!
Honestly, that's a luxury of riches and we should pare that down. So let's decide which of the 3 counties should be eliminated.
Delaware didn't exist until the Dutch discovered it in 1631. There's some debate about what existed before 1631 but most agree that there was likely some dirt, plants and animals.
Thomas Jefferson may have called Delaware a jewel of the east. With the 22nd longest coast line of all US states, it's easy to see why.
It sure puts New Hampshire to shame!
Despite it's pitiful coastline, Delaware is home to the largest population of horseshoe crabs in the world. Which is pretty convenient if you're one of the many medical companies registered as a business within the state.
Supposedly these little critters are eons older than dinosaurs. *insert joke about age of US Presidents before publishing*
@Smersh I love those crazy little creatures! Evidently, they have blue blood, which is of interest to scientists for some reason. We have them down here too, sometimes.
Very glad they've developed synthetics so they don't have to harvest so many of them! To survive for 200M years just to be made extinct by a bunch of psychotic apes would be a travesty.
@Smersh @janallmac it most certainly would be a travesty! We are already doing enough damage. Ugh!
@Smersh @Spagesgallo1
It would be a travesty. Psychotic apes. Heh. Sigh.
